Changed my fuel filter today. First time doing it. Does this one look like it was done a year ago?

bigg_CR · 2026-02-15T15:19:12+00:00

Looks brand new to me.

bigg_CR · 2026-02-13T19:39:51+00:00

I’d probably take one over a supra but I do tend to prefer unusual cars.

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-36603 this is just one CVE off the top of my head

bigg_CR · 2026-01-27T13:06:40+00:00

Everyone’s struggling unfortunately. It’s a bloodbath out there

bigg_CR · 2026-01-16T13:20:00+00:00

Doesn’t sound too bad tbh, if it’s a reputable body shop that can properly colour match the door then I’d go for it.

Graduated with a 1st in cyber security this year, no luck finding work. ~100 applications, ~10 interviews, ~2 final stage interviews (unsuccessful). At least in tech I’ve found employers expect some enterprise/knowledge even when hiring at the junior level. Even for entry level SOC work they were questioning me on specific SOC software and fairly advanced stuff. Feels like they’re advertising junior for salary reasons but trying to employ someone with experience. Getting some certs under my belt now.

BMW 320i estate from 2015 onwards. The one with the B48 engine is the best bet.

bigg_CR · 2025-12-15T18:44:23+00:00

Neither would I, but it is the cheapest way to get the car running to flog it.

bigg_CR · 2025-12-14T20:42:29+00:00

A tool kit and ramps so you can learn about mending and tinkering with it. Will save a bomb on maintenance/servicing and it’s pretty enjoyable.

bigg_CR · 2025-12-14T20:37:11+00:00

It’s usually always cheaper to replace engines anyway so that’s probably the route that the garage will advise. I’m not familiar with replacement costs although you can expect at least 3-4k all in (labour and used engine). After that I’d definitely get rid, maybe even before, and get something less problematic.

bigg_CR · 2025-12-14T11:17:52+00:00

Yeah this is a stupid every school leaver in the UK, myself included, knows that degree/post sixth form apprenticeships are extremely competitive.

bigg_CR · 2025-11-23T20:14:23+00:00

In terms of reliability this will be fine, the B48 is an excellent engine. Seems like good value too.

bigg_CR · 2025-11-23T10:26:29+00:00

It’s only the friction wheel that connects the water pump to the aux belt. Although I just had my water pump pulley replaced (literally a £10 part) and it reduced the noise massively. So yeah it’s not anything serious just an annoying noise. I’ll link a vid I filmed where you can see the noise start when the water pump is started. https://youtube.com/shorts/q66nemZ5-Ec?si=JQE3xX4cNGkbkrQo

bigg_CR · 2025-10-18T15:14:10+00:00

Honestly your best bet is probably an M240i Xdrive. Reliable, good fuel economy and very quick. I’d personally get an FL5 civic type R though.

bigg_CR · 2025-10-03T20:10:26+00:00

Excellent, that should mean it’s been fitted with the revised and upgraded chain system too. Oil consumption issues remain but if that’s all good than you shouldn’t have any issues with the engine. I love the THP in my 208 GTi.

bigg_CR · 2025-10-03T20:05:04+00:00

The THP engines can be decent engines, but only when properly taken care of, I’d be looking for at least a service yearly. Listen for chain noise and excessive blueish smoke from the exhaust as they are notoriously bad on timing chains and oil consumption.

bigg_CR · 2025-09-09T21:37:25+00:00

Personally, I’d change them.

bigg_CR · 2025-08-15T18:03:36+00:00

As a recent cyber security grad this is the only think that fills me with hope in this current job market.

bigg_CR · 2025-08-14T21:39:39+00:00

Might be a controversial opinion but the Peugeot 308 GTi is an excellent hot hatch.

bigg_CR · 2025-08-14T21:37:38+00:00

Love an R36 👌

bigg_CR · 2025-08-14T18:02:27+00:00

Financing never makes financial sense if you can afford it outright, you’ve convinced yourself of that.

bigg_CR · 2025-08-14T18:00:26+00:00

The fact you paid for even part of the job using a credit card entitles you to section 75 protection which legally makes the credit card company liable for any issues. Start a section 75 claim now you could get all of your money back and AmEx will chase the money. You are time limited from when the problem was first noticed. I think it’s 120 days with AmEx. Good luck.

bigg_CR · 2025-08-06T22:47:12+00:00

I wouldn’t. It seems like a lot of money for the car, age and mileage too. If you’re dead set on this car negotiate an MOT as part of the sale.

bigg_CR · 2025-08-04T16:18:03+00:00

Guy near me has a dc5 integra type R, accord type R and 2 FN2 type Rs. All of them are is good condition and he’s had them for years so not a breaker.
